Revolution 2.0 To Be Previewed At Macworld

[curry]

Really, I wouldn't get all riled up over a word. "Vaporware" was not 
the best word to use, but in a poem it's obvious that we're not 
talking about an entirely serious post anyway. So I can understand 
the urge to defend the good name of our friends at RunRev, but 
suggest leaving it to a simple reminder rather than bringing up 
overly stiff language about accusation. The original context does not 
show that the word was used to mean sinister market manipulation 
tactics. So if that's the only definition of "vaporware" (I'm not 
sure and I'm not going to go try to search for all existing 
definitions right now) then it's pretty obvious that this was a 
misuse of the word and accusation of failure to deliver, not 
accusation of bigger conspiracies. So explaining that it's the wrong 
word or usually has a very bad connotation would be enough.

About pointing out whether or not someone complaining has had any 
delayed releases of their own, that's legit and I'm all for saying 
that. Obviously, the release is later because there's so much good 
stuff in it, and I'm going to appreciate that good stuff. I just 
think it's not the best use of time to defend someone against other 
things when probably they are not really accused of those things as 
far as the intent of the person talking. Ha ha, and here I am 
spending time talking about it too! Oh well. :-)
